The Corpus canonum Africano-Romanum is an ancient translation of Greek conciliar canons into Latin. It has not survived in its original form, but it constitutes the major part of two other chronologically arranged collections, the Collectio Frisingensis I and the Collectio Wirceburgensis. The collection emerged in several steps. Its place(s) of origin are highly disputed. The current title was proposed by Mordek, who opted for an African origin and a later reworking in Rome.
